His Name Is Jackie Chan, He Will Destroy You! - Camilles


I had a good lie in today and a pretty chilled out morning, I drank tea and looked for some jobs online. I got ready and headed out around 2pm. First stop was Daz and Danni's house to check up on Toby, He was sound, I re-heated his hot water bottle, made sure he had food and let him run around in the snow in the backyard for a bit. He doesnt calm down though, its like he has speed on his dog biscuits every morning. I hated leaving him, when I shut the door I could here im crying really loud, I felt horrible but there was nothing else I could really do. My next stop was Guildford Manor, I was only there for a few minutes. Chris and India got ready and we walked to town. Chris showed us the sweet snow skull he told us about the other day in the park at the bottom of Warwick Street. It was a nightmare walking to town, the snow is now so deep its like walking along a beach. My feet were soaking wet and freezing cold. We left India at Monument Metro Station and headed to the library so Chris could print off some CV's. Then we missioned round town handing both our CV's anywhere we could think of. We walked back to the Manor to have a quick maple syrup brew before we had our first proper practice with Camilles. I picked up some Irn Bru and a fortune cookie on the way. When we got to the Offquay we took off our shoes and socks and hung them on the radiator to dry and warm up. Bare foot band practices are a cold but fun thing. We managed to pretty much finish our first song titled "His Name Is Jackie Chan, He Will Destroy You!" We need to tweak it and tighten up a bit but I think we were all really pleased with how it sounded. Foxy gave us lifts back to Heaton after dropping Joe off at the train station so he could get back to Durham. Then Foxy picked Sarah up and drove us both to other Joe's house in Killingworth since it was on his way home. It was Joe's 22nd birthday party. Not really much of a party but was cool having a few drinks with people I rarely see these days. Me and Sarah ordered a sick 14" pizza and massacre'd it in minutes. It was the first thing i'd eaten all day. We were feeling pretty tired and booked a taxi back to Heaton with Danni. Sarah and I watched the rest of the B.I.G film and fell asleep.
